Vision healing comprises correcting eyesight and improving vision health. Vision healing is holistic healing, which begins with the mind first, then the body, and finally the eye.

Eye Color and Pain Tolerance

What
would you think if I said your eye color can tell me how well you can handle
pain? You might be a little skeptical. But, hold on, because preliminary
research suggests it could be the case.

As
pain management specialists, we strive to understand why some of our patients
tolerate pain better than others, as well as the factors that influence which
pain management therapies are most appropriate to the individual.

Eye
color may soon become another biomarker we can use. Already, we know that
people with red hair are resistant to anesthesia and require more of it during
dental procedures.

In the
new study of eye color, researchers compared pain tolerance and the effect of
an epidural during childbirth among a group of 58 white pregnant women—24 with
dark-colored eyes (brown or hazel) and 34 with light-colored eyes (blue or
green).

The
women with light-colored eyes:

Tolerated pain better during
childbirth

Had less post-partum anxiety and
depression

The
women with dark-colored eyes:

Had a greater reduction in pain with
an epidural, suggesting higher sensitivity to pain

Experienced a 60% reduction in pain
at rest with the epidural and a 55% reduction during movement; it was 45% and
40% among the women with light-colored eyes, respectively

While
these early results are fascinating, we must be cautious about drawing
definitive conclusions. The results showed a trend in pain reduction, but were
not statistically or clinically significant. Further studies are needed to
explore the potential link between pain and eye color among women who are not
pregnant, men and children.

If eye
color is shown to be a genetic biomarker, it would offer a practical approach
to assessing a patient’s pain sensitivity. Clinicians can recognize biomarkers
instantly and can use them to tailor their approach to pain management to the
individual. Patients ultimately would benefit, as they may experience greater
pain relief and improved quality of life.

No matter what level of pain tolerance you may have, learn how to manage your pain effectively.
